I was looking to get a Gas hedge trimmer

I started looking at the cheap stuff online and read bad reviews.Then I started looking at The elco,Tanaka,Shindaiwa and Kawasaki 20 - 30 inch gas trimmers (prices are around #270 -$375)But looking at them gets me kinda nervious and scared in useing one.(Lots of Bushs to cut down)Well then

I seen the Kawasaki Hedge Cutter Handheld 69" Fixed Clipper KCS600A for $337 with free delivery

Well I am sure that will do the Trick I thought

buttttt

I then seem the Kawasaki Hedge Cutter 80" Articulating Clipper KCS525A for $389 with free delivery

My questin is how well are the Kawasaki?and is the moveable better then the Fixed trimmer heads?I also seen a longer moveable head for $40 more.

I don't want to go crazy and spend lots of money if I don't need too.I read a past post on here that some of these will only cut in one direction?maybe they were talking about another type of pole trimmers?....Jt
